    A lovely river cruise with a friendly captain. A small family run business with not too many people rammed on the boat, so we had a great view and seat at all times. Bar prices were reasonable and crackers and cheese were included (we went in the afternoon). The captain even let passengers have a drive of the boat on the way back. A great way to see more of the Gold Coast.

  • River cruise very enjoyable
